Photo of the village of Oberfischbach, Germany. This was the home of several Germanna families. Pastor Häger was here from 1703 to 1711, when he retired.

("Oberfischbach" is literally "UpperFishStream", or, as we would say in America "UpperFishCreek", meaning that there was a "LowerFishCreek" down there somewhere.)

Oberfischbach Welcome Sign

Photo of sign seen when entering Oberfischbach, Germany.

The Germans are inordinately proud of their towns and villages, and such signs prove it. A lot of work went into the construction, and, someone must tend the flowers in the hanging buckets.

This church was built in 1796, and replaced an earlier one on the same spot.
